Gi found himself struggling with maintaining the mental disciplines required for members of the Jedi Order and had trouble controlling his fear on the occasions in which he was required to work independently. The presence of his Master often acted as a stabilizing influence, however, and the pair formed an effective team. Gi and Barrek were often deployed to the Outer Rim Territories to gather intelligence on pirate activity and then counter the threat that it posed.[1]

During the fierce fighting, Master Barrek managed to contact Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, who had recently taken the planet Muunilinst for the Republic. Barrek informed his fellow General of the situation on Hypori before he was killed by Grievous. Without Master Barrek's presence, Gi began to lose his nerve as his self-doubt and fear started to overcome him. From inside the wreck, the Jedi were able to hear Grievous approaching, and Gi was visibly unnerved by the sound and the fact that they were unable to see the cyborg general. As the assembled Jedi waited for Grievous to assault them, Gi panicked and rushed out of the wreckage to face the enemy leader. Grievous appeared from above Gi, landing on the young Padawan and crushing him to death. Grievous went on to battle the assembled Jedi, killing Tarr Seirr and wounding the others.[3] The survivors were eventually rescued by the Muunilinst 10, an elite squad of ARC troopers that had been dispatched from Munnilinst.[7]

Awkward and full of self-doubt, Sha'a Gi found that maintaining the mental discipline required by Jedi was hard for him. He had difficulty controlling his fear, especially when working independently. Nevertheless, Master Barrek's presence was enough to calm the young man, and the pair worked effectively together. When Barrek was killed by General Grievous on Hypori, Gi allowed his fear to overwhelm him, which led to his death at the cyborg General's hands.[1]
